This subcommunity consists of game designer Heather Kelley's electronic records regarding the development of the "smart toy" computer game, Redbeard's Pirate Quest (code name "Argh"). The game was released by Zowie Interactive in 1999. Human Code, Inc. (HCI) completed the software development and application programming interface (API), with Heather Kelley as the producer. The production of this game was unique in that it was initiated by Zowie, who wanted to showcase their hardware development and had already developed a prototype. The development cycle was a short nine months as HCI and Zowie worked concurrently. During software development by HCI, Zowie further refined the game's unique toy pirate ship controller technology.
